And EFA/LATPA has a really hard entry test. I would say the hardest one.

So you should have a plan B.
Yes, must agree on both points! Very true!

Lufthansa requires applicants to pass the DLR test (aptitude test) which is among the most difficult aptitude tests in the industry. The test can be taken only once and without prior preparation it's almost impossible to pass! Fail-rates are high and in excess of > 90% or even higher. I believe that says it all!

Regarding the Thread Starters particular case, as already mentioned earlier, in order to stand a halfway realistic chance of being hired by Lufthansa or any other German airline your German language skills must be very good and close to accent-free! Competition is high among citizens, every German high school graduate dreaming of becoming an airline pilot thinks of Lufthansa first!

Maybe applying to OAA or L3 airline cadet programs will be a better choice?
As mentioned before, there is not only Lufthansa, there are other good airlines as well! Which I'd give preference, if I were in your shoes!

And since you already hold a German passport you are a EU citizen (EU residence and work permission) and you can choose any European training program/provider.
